Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ST. LOUIS, June 26 (UPI) -- The St. Louis Blues acquired the rights Tuesday to center Keith Tkachuk from the Atlanta Thrashers along with a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2008.
The draft pick could become a third-round choice in 2009. The Thrashers got a conditional first-round pick in 2008 from the Blues.
The Blues sent Tkachuk to Atlanta in February in exchange for a first-round draft choice in 2007, a third-round pick in 2007, a second-round selection in 2008 and forward Glen Metropolit.
There also was the conditional first-round pick in 2008, which went back to Atlanta. It would have gone to the Blues had the Thrashers re-signed Tkachuk, who becomes an unrestricted free agent Sunday.
At the time of the trade, Tkachuk had 43 points (20 goals, 23 assists) in 61 games with the Blues. He finished last season with 58 points.
